Diya “We are not slaves,” Ruby shouted as he halved the potato without touching it. "Are you seriously going to keep quiet and let her treat us like that?" She stabbed the potato. "I mean, who does she think she is?” “Ruby, quiet down. They can hear.” I signaled my eyes at the men, who were keeping a close eye on us. “I don’t care,” she shrugged. Ruby grabbed another peeled potato and did the same process. She was exercising all her frustration on the potatoes. She was also very vocal, which was going to get her in trouble if she does not keep quiet soon. “Do it for me, please,” I pleaded. I was more of a coward. I was afraid of what Elisa would do. I was afraid for her. For everyone. Even Matt, who I hadn’t seen since she ordered him to be taught a lesson, whatever that was. I shook the nudging thought that she might have killed him. This could have been an act. They could be laughing at us somewhere in this house. My house. It was a joke to even think it was my house. Maybe i
Matt I had been stubborn. Making Elisa mad. I couldn’t feel most parts of my body. My left eye was shut. My right eye still gave me minimal vision. I was refusing to speak, and this had gone for hours. She had made me kneel with my hand-tied in front. I could feel my knees giving in, but I had to stay in my position. I refused her methods to make me confess. She had left frustrated, and I thought she had given up, but she walked in with Diya. My heart rate spiked. I must have looked worse than I thought by the way he looked at me. I swallowed and tasted the blood in my mouth and took slow breaths as I kept in position. Steady Matt! Keep steady! She will not break you! You are strong! You can do this! Just keep calm! I kept boosting myself with encouraging words. I needed all the comfort and calm for whatever she was about to do. The deep breath that I took was very painful. I had endured the beating this long. I needed to keep it a little longer. “Shall we do this again?” sh
Diya I was expecting something. I don’t know what exactly I was expecting, but not that. I felt fear and shock in a matter of five seconds. She wanted to make Matt confess to loving me and I thought she was going to kill me. There were no limits to Elisa’s craziness. “This is for being a two-timing JERK.” Elisa went on full crazy as she started hitting Matt. I was still numb to react to everything. My husband was dead. We fought the last time we saw each other. I held my belly, ignoring everything. I couldn’t breathe. My chest was tight. My head hurts. I moved, but there was a man in front of me. “I… can’t… breathe…” I stuttered. Everything in me hurts. There was no end to this pain. I need air in my lungs. This was too much. I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself, but everything hurt. I held my chest again. This was not real. I refused to make anything true. Accepting this reality was too much. "I... can't... I can't..." I got out heaving. “YOU,” Elisa accused, looking like
Ace That crazy bitch was DEAD. She thought she had succeeded in her attempt, but she was wrong and I was going to kill her with my bare hands. I was sitting on the jet on my way home. I was in a foul mood. “Boss,” I looked up. "Call for you," he quickly spoke and shoved the phone at me and scurried away. “Yes.” anger coursed through me. “Fuck, you are alive,” Filip breathed. He sounded relieved. “Barely,” I admitted, looking at my wet bloody clothes. "I have been trying to call you and everyone for a very long time. You had me worried there boss," Filip chuckled, "You just can't die, can't you?" "If you see the state I'm in, you wouldn't be sure if I'm alive." "Is that you trying to make a joke?" Filip snickered and sighed. "I would never joke, especially at a time like this. This was a wake up call. I could have died and missed my chance to see my son." "I'm glad you are alive, boss." Filip sighed. "I promise you. You will see Theo." “I know I will because I don't plan
Elisa “We have visitors,” Collin walked in. “Tell them to go away,” I said as he kept standing in front of me. “Why are you still standing there?” I looked at him. “It’s the police,” he said, and I got up. “I don’t think they are going -” “How many are they?” I asked. “One car.” he cleared his throat nervously. “They are at the gate as we speak.” “Radio the men. I need them to move out of sight quickly. Wait until everyone is out of sight before you let them in. I’ll deal with this.” I walked, making my way outside. “Do you think?” He asked and spun around, looking at him. “I’ll handle this. You make sure our prisoners don’t make a sound,” I smiled as I walked out and waited for the car to pull at the front of the house. The car had pulled in and I was there waiting with a smile. Showing teeth. One car was a piece of cake. I thought there was the entire force here, but it seems I still had the upper hand. “Diya Torane?” The man walked as a woman followed, “I’m officer So
Elisa There was a forced smile on my face as I looked at Collin. I was trying to be very calm right now. After taking a deep breath, I got up from my seat and walked to him with my hands on my hips. I looked at him with a stiff smile on my face. “Tell me again?” I sighed. “There were mics around the ranch.” he cleared his throat looking at me. “We took all of them down.” He looked at his feet. “No,” I shook my head, “We have been here for almost two days and you are telling me now that someone was listening.” I laughed, “Collin?” I called his name. “Look me in the eye.” I clench my teeth. “I’m sorry,” “Oh, you should,” I spoke behind my teeth with a small laugh. "I'm sick of this shit. I can't catch a break." I whispered to myself. “I was going to do a sweep, but Dario told me to focus on the digging and there was - “ “Hmmm,” I nodded. I began pacing around. Thinking. I held my hands on my hips again and heaved. I hate having headaches. I hate things that give me headaches.
Elisa I thought being with Theo would help me think and relax, but he was being too fussy today. Adding to the other problems I had. I didn’t have time for him at the moment. He was in excellent hands with Linda and Patty. I had adults to deal with. More people to kill. Honestly, people keep testing me knowing the result. I know I shout keep stop the killing because i will end u with no men but I need people who were on my level of understanding. I don't need idiots in my sight. Ace being alive was grating at my insides to a point of no return. He was my biggest threat. The sooner he can die, the better for me. I was mad he survived a deadly explosion. He was supposed to be blown to oblivion. I shouldn't worry because I have a plan. Yes. I smiled. I have a plan. I walked around, swinging my hands back and forth. I lifted my hands in the air and relaxed my shoulders. I will not let this stress me. I'm a badass, and I will be the one taking this empire. My smile widened. Power was
Filip I groaned and tried to call Ruby’s number again and again, but there was no answer. Delta and Solomon were useless; they couldn’t tell me how many men were at the ranch. I thought it was a good plan, but all I did was make Elisa aware. She found out about the hidden audios and she had Ruby. She was trying to torture me, and it was working. I was outside of Arnold’s house taking a moment. Everything around me seemed to move fast and slow. I was feeling useless. The bitch was pissing me off. Everything had all gone to shit. Ace was still unreachable and we do not know if the plane made it or not. My grandfather was a little extreme. They had to drop in the Indian Ocean. Make it look like a crash. A crush in the Indian fucking ocean like it was as simple as clicking my fingers. I don't even want to know how he came up with such and absurd plan. Hs plan could backfire. They could all be dead but I did not want to go there yet. Going there would make it real and I did not want to
